Executive Summary: Diagnostic of Supply and Demand of
Evaluators
Benin, April 2018
CONCEPT AND OBJECTIVES:
As part of the Twende Mbele Programme, the Office of the Evaluation of Public
Policies and Analysis of Government Action (BEPPAAG) of the General Secretariat of
the Presidency of the Republic of Benin, commissioned a diagnostic study on the
demand and supply of evaluators in Benin. The study focused on the following:
evaluation market (its strengths and weaknesses),
the supply and demand capacities for evaluation services (to take stock of skills
and identify needs for evaluation capacity building to balance demand and
supply for evaluators)
the size of the evaluation market (as a means of achieving a balance between
supply and demand for evaluation), especially in a context of growing demand
for valuations.
METHODOLOGY:
The interviews aimed at interrogating both demand and supply side evaluation
stakeholders. The targets reached on the supply side were few. However, this deficit
was filled with the help of the National Network. This allowed their members to
participate in the questionnaire.
Those interviewed were able to provide adequate information to establish a basis for
analysis. Donors and civil society organizations were also solicited for this study. The
questionnaire assessed the proficiency profiles, practice, quality of demand,
constraints to the practice of the profession and community life.
Given the time constraints and delays related to the nature of the project, a qualitative
approach was favored for this research. The collection of empirical data was carried
out through in four ways;
1. extensive literature review (various evaluation reports from both government
and donors)
2. interviews (with both supply and demand actors),
3. preset questionnaires and
4. Participation in a workshop (launch of the government evaluation database)
which allowed for results obtained to be compared with other reports (24
government evaluation reports conducted between 2006 and 2016 by The
